Re: Re: Ralph Nader super-rally in Madison Square Garden

Wow, McReynolds getting 100,000 was really setting the bar high. Here
are the unofficial popular vote tabulations from 1996. Hollis, the
Socialist candidate, got 3,376 votes; the Workers World and SWP
candidates together got 40,631.

I hear the Canadian branch of the Natural Law Party does a wicked
Yogic flying demonstration as part of their campaign act.
